Worms World Party: The First Review

Although I have not actually played Worms: World Party, I have a pretty good idea of what is involved. Having played the thoroughly enjoying game Worms: Armageddon, I feel that this game will be even better, for in this series of games, each time the next game in the series comes out, it is always even more enjoyable. In addition, I must say that the major highlight of this game is the multiplayer mode. There is fierce competition whenever a multiplayer game is going on like no other game I have ever seen. Plus, unlike most games with weapons, Worms has no blood, plus to ad in some fun ,there are fantasy weapons such as 'Super Sheeps' that you direct through the air towards your opponent(s) The creators of this game must have an ingenious gaming mind. With all this said, I will close by saying that the Worms series is the best series and best multiplayer game so far in the short history of computer game developement. Thank you.

WARNING! HIGHLY ADDICTIVE!

What can I say but that the Worms series has always been one of the most fun and addictive games out there. It's strongest asset is of course it's multiplayer capabilities. You do not need a fast connection to the internet to enjoy playing it against other worm-crazed fanatics. I have played this with a 33.6 modem and noticed no "lag" whatsoever.

It's a great game for adults and kids alike (there is no blood or gore)and the worms are just too darn cute!

Worms World Party has not yet been released yet so I can not honestly say how wonderful it is, but after playing Worms, Worms2 and Worms Armageddon I believe I can safely say that Worms World Party will not let anyone down.

The best of the worms series!!!!!!!!!!

I've been a hardcore wormer ever since the original worms, and I can tell you they keep getting better. All though I have not played the game yet, I have found out that there are tons of new weapons, including a girrafe that is sort of like a Concrete Donkey (for those of you who don't know this is one of the best weapons there is) and a few new utilitys. There are also 40 new missions a bunch of new trainings and even an editor to make your own missions!! And also for Deathmatch there are new upgrades such as multiplayer. Furthermore, for all you veteran worms there is a "Wormpot" which holds over 90 different variations to the game where you can pick your own or the computer randomly picks one for you. And if your a newbie there is a new option that gives you discriptions as well as teaches you how to use all the weapons (exept the secret ones) in the game. And once your finished with the single player you can go online and play any fellow wormer from anywhere in America to England and more.The internet games now hold up to 18 players at a time so you can have a big game with everyone in your neiborhood. Trust me, Im just a kid ( my father also loves the game), but if you're even the smallest gamer you'll love this action/turn-based strategy/comedy mix. Take it from me, its only a 2D game, but your gonna be putting Unreal Tournament, Command and Conquer, and the rest of 'em away for a long, long, long time once you get your hands on Worms World Party.

Disappointing

If you already own previous versions of the Worms series then you will be very disappointed with this latest reincarnation.

Apart from the many bug fixes there is nothing extra to justify the price. Contrary to popular belief, there are no new weapons and the WormPot mode is very similar to the cheat options from Worms Armageddon. The new front-end graphics are tailored for a younger audience with the exact same layout as Worms Armageddon too. Worms World Party also lacks league play and a world ranking system that made Worms Armageddon so popular. There is no mission editor as of yet, Team17 have made this as an extra download as they did with The Fiddler for Worms Armageddon.

Worms World party is a good game if you do not have Worms 2 or Worms Armageddon only because of the fact that Worms is a fantastic game in it's own right. Give this game a miss if you expect new features from a sequel.

Not worth the plastic it's burnt on!

Worms world party is the latest worms game to be churned out by Team17. It uses exactly the same game engine as the previous 2 worms titles, Worms2 and Worms:Armageddon. OK, let me list the new features in this game for you all:

Wormpot: A bunch of mods to the standard worms game. You can choose 3 at a time and they can be played with any setting. Such mods include blood mode, all weapons affected by wind, slippy terrain and the imaginative double damage. These features actually add far LESS to the game than Team17 would have you believe. Since many of them were available in Worms Armageddon anyway.

A new frontend: This is for all you kiddies out there. Anyone who likes slightly more mature games will be absolutely shocked by the front-end used in this game. Bright garish colours and cutesy fuzzy worms abound!

New music: Again, more childish than most people can tolerate.

New sounds: Whoops, it looks like Team17 "forgot" to bother adding any new sound effects or soundbanks to the game!

New weapons: Oh wait, there are NONE. There are NO new weapons or utilities in this game! Absolutely nothing!

Single player missions: 30 odd missions, I managed to complete them all in 2 days because they are mind numbingly easy (for the most part) and again, this is to cater for the younger children.

So there we go. This game contains very little new material compared to the previous 2 worms titles. Infact, there are some features dropped from Worms armageddon! Team17 have taken a step back in my opinion. Previous worms addicts may be disappointed to learn that Worms world party doesn't even contain ranks for online multiplayer!

Simply put, if you already have Worms2 or Worms Armageddon then stick with it. If you are new to the World of worms, then I would strongly reccommend that you buy Worms Armageddon on budget instead, because there is very little (if anything) that I can reccommend to you about this game... There seems to have been a distinct lack of effort put into this game, and it really shows.

Pure dissapointment

In short, Worms World Party is not worth the money. I'm a big fan of worms, in fact, Worms Armageddon is the only video game I play. Just got ahold of WWP this morning and was sorely dissapointed. New missions and training, a few new multiplayer options, but nothing else that means anything. Oh, the interface is annoying now, too. Ugly bright colors. So here's the deal: if you want to run Win2k then you want WWP. Otherwise save the cash and buy/keep playing Worms Armageddon. Go buy your significant other some nice flowers with the money you save and tell her that you've decided to spend more time with her, rather than buy a new video game to lock yourself in the computer room with :)

Pure dissapointment

I got my hands on a copy of WWP today and was sorely dissapointed. I'm a huge fan of Armageddon, and was way excited for this release. But nothing fantastic has been added. Some multiplayer options were changed, different training is available, and the interface was made annoying. That's it. Everything else is the same. Save your money, unless you want to run Win2k...In my opinion, there's no other reason to try WWP.

Fun Fun FUN!

WWP is very very fun, with great new modes of play like oprative missions and Forts. This is a game worth buying, and if your like me it will give you hours and hours and hours of fun. Im still not tired of the game. The best about this game is the ability to play on wormNet, where you meet people and challenge them to a game. You connect to servers/games and join in on the fun. This is a game I never regret buying.

I'd laugh, but it's not worth the effort.

You should note the reviews on this site that praise this despicable waste of money are all from the US. It hasn't actually been released in the US.

That should be your clue.

(HINT : Don't waste your money.)

good game

Worms World Party has to be a good game for so many reasons. All the rest of the Worms games have been nonstop fun with lots of twists and turns. The whole idea of worms battling with these weird weapons is the caziest thing ever!
